New Delhi, March 4 (IANS) A man brutally beat his old father to death in rage after finding a water jug empty when he came home, police said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday night when Chetan Kumar, 40, assaulted his father Ram Kumar, 75, at his residence in Bindapur area of west Delhi.
Chetan, an e-rickshaw driver, came his residence in a drunken state and started beating his father after he found no water in the jug and angrily asked why he had not filled it, police said.
